I hope you count yourself lucky. To not understand such a problem you must have amazing willpower in all areas of your life.
I would be interested to know your thoughts on people with gambling addictions, porn addictions etc.
Whether you like it or not these addictions are a very real problem to a lot of people and it's not "willpower" that is required to overcome them.
Did you know that there are many people who are able to break their smoking addictions by sheer "willpower" who find themselves unable to overcome gambling addictions and the like? IF it was a matter of willpower, don't you think that this would never happen?
Essentially you are correct that these people only have themselves to blame... it IS only their doing that has brought them to this, BUT the same can be said about your so-called "real" addictions. IT is counter-productive to label these people as less worthy for help with their addictions.
The truth is, whether people have a chemical addiction or a mental addiction, if their addictions are ruining their lives or the lives of others they often cannot fix the problem on their own.
"People tend to forget that sending out ACK packets upstream greatly effects the download speed of a connection. Asychronous connections with low upstreams often become saturated and drag down the downstream to unbearable levels."
yes, and i'd appreciate it if you stop sending my packets upstream... it's a real hassle to go fetch them!
only only that, but according to the article, "Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so-called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value."
and yet, in this article it says ""Asteroid 1950 DA is a very interesting object," said Dr. Benny Peiser, a spokesman for Spaceguard UK. It's interesting, "because it is the first Near Earth Object that scores higher than zero on the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale."" (this article was dated Apr 5, 2002)
it seems to me that the author got a bit too jumpy a little too early...
As opposed to the "low fat" or "low carb" camps, this dietitian recommends a low calorie diet (why must ppl lump low fat with low cal?), though strongly advises staying above 1200 calories a day.

I am not an expert, but it makes sense to me not to deny my body any foods.
"If I *ever* leave a theater, check my voicemail, and find out my gf was in a car accident and had been in the hospital for an hour, you can bet I'd sue instantly."
wow... great idea... while you're at it, there are countless other people you can sue...
for example, your local government department responsible for traffic signals - because, you know, if she'd gotten 1 more red light or 1 more green light she wouldn't have been in the accident in the 1st place!
it's still your decision whether or not to enter a cinema that blocks mobile phone calls. just like it's your decision whether or not to get on a plane.
incidentally, if the same thing happened, would you be so quick to sue an airline that made you switch of your mobile phone ?
When Queensland's Education Department signed up for the Microsoft School Agreement, they tried the same thing. Schools using Macs were expected to count their computers as well. After alot of blowup, either the Education Department or Microsoft backed down. It was never made clear which.
Also the asking price that the schools were expected to pay was far too high, especially considering most schools wouldn't get much advantage right off the bat. In this case the Education Department subsidised the cost.
yes... the problem they had with the aluminium health thing was that they were storing the defective brain tissue in aluminium salt! so of course it had high levels of aluminium...
the most likely explanation is that they have the page linked to an irc bot or the like & if they feel like answering, they just send the message back through a bot.
m'aaan! i WANT one of those!

> The repeat mania continues ... amazing.
This is why I like slashdot... an interesting story comes along, & I miss it...
A few days, weeks, or sometimes hours later it's reposted and I catch it on its second run.
Makes me wonder how many interesting articles I really do miss...

>Wow, that would answer the chicken-egg problem.
a chicken & an egg are lying naked in bed.
the chicken turns to the egg & says "well i guess we answered that question"

Personally, I've found this site to be helpful.

Okay... just one small thing... rain on your wedding day is ironic... considering it's supposed to be good luck...
well you don't expect live people to keep writing after they're dead, do you?
My question is:
Why is the domain name registrant in Germany,
with a fake looking phone number??
